Bad landing



Brian Koerber has a Mashable article about a lucky airliner:
Everyone on board this KLM Asia flight, a Boeing 777 landing at Schiphol airport in the Netherlands,  most likely had heart palpitations as strong winds tossed the aircraft from side to side while approaching the runway, but the pilot was still able to land the aircraft successfully.
A storm with heavy winds reaching over 75 mph in some areas caused major interruptions from the Netherlands to Germany and Poland on Saturday. Footage of was uploaded by YouTuber 17splinter.
Winds at Schiphol reached at least 63 miles per hour during the height of the storm, according to The Weather Channel.
Rico says he's a lucky pilot...
